Bianca Handing Pier Maria a Sword

c. 1460
Fresco
Golden Room, Castello di Torrechiara, Torrechiara

The second scene, on the southwest fireplace wall, shows Bianca handing a sword to Pier Maria who kneels before her. As a proper knight, he has vowed to be her protector, and clearly she has accepted him.
